if you are crap at anything and have to retake it, you don’t eat.

The problem with real life is simple, £120 per hour fees - i.e. The reason I bought FS2002 was very specific I am a real life private pilot who was, at the time, training to do my instrument rating. You see, getting into an aeroplane simulator and flying straight and level for 6 hours just doesn’t rock my boat I would rather sit through the HollyOaks omnibus on a Sunday morning. To get one thing straight at the beginning - I bought my computer to play FS2002! Now don’t get me wrong, to my mind there is nothing enticing about a flight simulator unless you get to ripple bombs onto Nazi tank columns whilst dodging AAA and surface to air missiles. Verdict: Only Microsoft seem to continually support non-combat flight nowadays, though there are now a wealth of mods and it should be less than £45 on the street. The bad points: Price as usual if you’ve got last year’s, is this worth it? (Pocket-lint) - The good points: Pure non-combat flight, best graphics yet
